Annotation
While parents may worry that their children will be at a disadvantage if they are not engaged in the latest "educational" games, Elkinds "The Power of Play" reassures that unscheduled imaginative play goes far in preparing children for academic and social success. Publisher Description
Today's parents often worry that their children will be at a disadvantage if they are not engaged in constant learning, but child development expert David Elkind reassures us that imaginative play goes far to prepare children for academic and social success. Through expert analysis of the research and powerful examples, Elkind shows how creative, spontaneous play fosters healthy mental and social development and sets the stage for academic learning in the first place. An important contribution to the literature about how children learn, "The Power of Play" restores play's respected place in children's lives and encourages parents to trust their instincts to stay away from many of the dubious educational products on the market.
